5 years agoOn Wednesday, Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole became the 18th pitcher since 1900 to reach 300 strikeouts in a season. Cole pitched eight innings against the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing six hits, one walk and two earned runs while striking out 10. It was his seventh straight outing with 10+ strikeouts. Cole has been absolutely phenomenal this year and now sports an 18-5 record with a 2.61 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. He's currently lined up to face the Mariners and Angels in the last week of the season, but there's a solid chance that second start could be skipped to help the Astros set up their rotation for the playoffs.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
